Forget the humble fish finger, you haven't tasted fish fingers until you've tasted these at Bryn Williams' North Wales restaurant. They are made from the catch of the day fish and served with fries, crushed peas and tartare sauce. Truly scrumptious.

11. A Philharmonic burger from the Philharmonic

As well as a huge booze selection - 50 different gins, anyone? - a varied menu caters for early risers for breakfast, light-lunchers, as well as the gourmet diners.

You can order everything from a 7oz fillet steak to slow cooked pork belly - but our favourite choice is the aptly-named Philharmonic Burger, made from wagyu beef. It's 6oz of beautiful Japanese Wagyu beef, topped with wild mushrooms and Cabernet Sauvignon sauce.

14. Sweet corn fritters at Turtle Bay
